The shipping fleet retreated, and the Beiyang Navy pursued it only in a symbolic way.

Even if there were artillery shells, this battle could not be fought.

In this campaign, the navy lost three warships including the "Zhiyuan Ship", and the remaining seven were seriously injured.

The hull of the ship was full of holes that had entered the water, and some of them were still bubbling with smoke, a tattered look of scrap copper and iron.

In particular, the flagship "Dingyuan" was burned by the fire and has lost its ability to navigate. The chief engineer of the entire fleet is being summoned to board the ship and repair it together.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and the fire on the lower deck of the plywood could not be extinguished, and the hatch could only be closed to prevent the fire from spreading.

Open these hatches, and inside there are many crew members who have been burned alive, they stayed on their posts as the fire spread!

There are many more like this, and each ship has lost at least a quarter of its staff.

The flesh and blood are too fragile in front of naval guns, and even if they are not careful, they will die without a burial.

The death of these crew members is the biggest loss of the Beiyang Fleet. They are all captains who returned from overseas in the early years. The modern army with a tenacious fighting will that they spent countless energy training can never be replenished in a year or two.

After repairing and repairing the ships, they were barely able to go on the road. During the period, a sea burial was also organized. According to the tradition of the Navy, the souls of the war dead were returned to the sea, and this endless blue sky became their resting place.

Deng Guandai was covered with gauze, looked at the scarred fleet, and sighed:

"Now the development of ships and firearms is changing with each passing day. The speed, rate of fire, and accuracy of the Yoshino are far better than mine. The stagnation of the navy is not a blessing for the country."

"Let Li Zhongtang and the others have a headache." Chen Jinkui said with a smile:

"I asked Lin Guandai for some wine. Let's give you your 45th birthday first! Today is August 18th, a lucky day~"

Deng Guandai was about to reprimand the ship for strictly prohibiting drinking, but then he thought that he didn't even have a battleship, so what are the rules on the ship.

At this time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Yu Yanmei not far away.

It was obvious that the person stood there, but he couldn't perceive it, and the whole person had an ethereal and clear feeling of "going back on the wind", which seemed to be more and more dusty.

After a while, Yu Yanmei returned to normal.

Deng Guandai was well-informed, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to Master Yu, Refining God has broken through the realm of sitting and forgetting!"

The people next to him also reacted and hurriedly congratulated them.

Yu Yanmei nodded casually as a response, looking up at the sky with a puzzled expression, wondering what she was thinking.

With communication tools such as telegraph and telephone, the news of the naval battle spread all over the country in less than a day, and then spread all over the world.

Ordinary people just think "okay". At this time, Izumo is still a small country in everyone's impression, and it is normal to win.

But in the eyes of people of insight, they think that the Beiyang Navy can't fight.

With the title of "the first navy in the Far East", it spends a huge amount of money every year, but it is only a miserable victory.

The returned battleship was like scrap iron, with patches all over it.

If Izumo hadn't sank 4 battleships, the loss would have been even worse. Everyone thought the navy lied about the military situation.

Li Zhongtang was even more distressed when he saw such a heavy loss. The Beiyang Navy was painstakingly managed and established by him, and many of his disciples had passed away.

Fortunately, the queen mother was very happy and felt that the victory before the longevity banquet was a good sign.

And in order to make his longevity banquet more lively, more people "know", so he made a decree——

Hold a martial arts conference to select "Wu Jinshi".

~~~~~~~~~

By the time Lu Yao knew the news, it was already the third day.

In order to achieve a better cultivation effect, the three of them carried the car the whole time when they came back, squeezing the limits of their bodies.

When I got home, I was very tired, so after washing, I hugged Liao Qi and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, I woke up with a fragrant and smooth body in my arms.

Lu Yao took a few deep breaths on the girl before getting up, Liao Qi quickly got up and waited for him to get dressed.

Su Erya waited there like a housekeeper, and first sent a large basket of salutations:

"Uncle Shi, during the few days you were away, 30 people came to visit and all wanted to make friends with you."

"Well, I see, throw it all away." Lu Yao nodded casually.

After the "fetal breath", there have been people coming to the door, and all of them are made by senior sister and Erya, which is much less than before.

Su Erya handed over another stack of newspapers: "The official army won the naval battle, and Izumo withdrew. It is said that the war will be officially stopped in the near future.

Overjoyed by the Queen Mother, he added Enke and held a martial arts competition to select "Wu Jinshi". "

Lu Yao took the newspaper and looked at it. The imperial court was going to hold a special competition for the blood exchange in the capital on the sixth day of October to present a gift for the longevity banquet.

The top three will be awarded the title of "Wu Jinshi", as well as rewards ranging from 100 taels to 300 taels of silver.

These Lu Yao didn't take it seriously, he had already been conferred by the imperial court with the third-rank position, and he had privileges such as "no kneeling", and there was no shortage of money.

But the reward for the first place is "Buddha's Nirvana Sutra"! That's kind of interesting

Lu Yao asked curiously, "The name seems to be a mysterious technique?"

"It's the secret of the Spiritual Refinement of Baique Temple." Liao Ya also got up at some point, and continued:

"Baique Temple is the head of Buddhism, and it is as famous as Wudang. In the last years of the previous dynasty, it was revealed that it was sent to the imperial court.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Senior sister knows a lot~"

"I read it in picture books when I was a child." Liao Yaqiao's face showed a blush: "Liao Qi likes to read picture books, and I have bought many..."

"You are talking nonsense! You like to watch it more than I do, and there is a big pile hidden under the bed!"

Liao Qi heard her sister's words from a distance and quickly refuted the rumor.

Liao Ya went to lick her sister's itch, and the two bright and moving girls started to frolic.

Lu Yao stretched, feeling that life is so beautiful, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, in a while, I will start to try to train the brain and spinal cord simultaneously~lightnovelpub.net~ You help me protect the Dharma."

"Okay, are you sure?"

"Well, I have benefited a lot from the hard work in the past few days, and my spine has been refined to 12." Lu Yao expressed his thoughts: "I plan to advance to the blood exchange realm as soon as possible, and then go to the capital to visit Li Pei."

I only touched it at the time, and I didn't have time to do anything, which is a pity in retrospect. You have to eat the fragrant meat that reaches your mouth and wipe it clean!

And the meaning of blood exchange is not only about picking up girls. It is necessary to completely cure terminal illnesses and obtain sufficient strength to protect themselves.

If the Washing Marrow Realm is surrounded by a large number of troops, or falls into a place with narrow terrain, it will still die under the hail of bullets.

But the blood exchange realm is different. The .50 machine gun can carry a dozen rounds. Basically, it is not afraid of conventional weapons. No matter how bad it is, there is still time to open the door and escape.

Liao Ya said: "I also miss Sister Li Pei a little bit. Let's go together when you change blood."

Lu Yao said with a smile: "Maybe I can still participate in the competition, and come back after winning the mystery book to enrich Liao Jiaquan's Tibetan Sutra Pavilion~"
